Bill to eliminate residency requirements for city workers introduced
Recently, Lisa Colangelo of the Daily News wrote about a bill that would lift residency requirements for all city workers. At this point more city workers are exempt from residency requirements than are covered by them. Police officers, fire fighters, and other uniformed city workers are allowed to live in surrounding counties such as Nassau and Suffolk and city teachers can live almost anywhere. The purpose of this bill, introduced at last week’s City Council meeting, is to promote fairness among all the city workers since it doesn’t seem fair to allow some employees to live outside the city while not others.
